Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:14Then did Satan make them slip From the (Garden), and get them out Of the state (of felicity) in which They had been. We said: "Get ye down, all (ye people), With enmity between yourselves. On earth will be your dwelling-place And your means of livelihood— For a time."
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:36They followed what the evil ones Gave out (falsely) Against the power Of Solomon: the blasphemers Were, not Solomon, but The evil ones, teaching men Magic, and such things As came down at Babylon To the angels Hārūt and Mārūt. But neither of these taught anyone (Such things) without saying: "We are only for trial; So do not blaspheme." They learned from them The means to sow discord Between man and wife. But they could not thus Harm anyone except By God's permission. And they learned what harmed them, Not what profited them. And they knew that the buyers Of (magic) would have No share in the happiness Of the Hereafter. And vile Was the price for which They did sell their souls, If they but knew!

That is because they say: "Trade is like usury," But God hath permitted trade And forbidden usury. Those who after receiving Direction from their Lord, Desist, shall be pardoned For the past; their case Is for God (to judge); But those who repeat (The offence) are Companions Of the Fire: they will Abide therein (for ever).
Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 2:275When she was delivered, She said: "O my Lord! Behold! I am delivered Of a female child!"— And God knew best What she brought forth— "And nowise is the male Like the female. I have named her Mary, And I commend her And her offspring To Thy protection From the Evil One, The Rejected."
Surah Ali 'Imran, verse 3:36Those of you Who turned back On the day the two hosts Met,—it was Satan Who caused them to fail, Because of some (evil) They had done. But God Has blotted out (their fault): For God is Oft-forgiving, Most Forbearing.
